Is there anything better than a cinnamon roll for brunch? Homemade always wins, but they take a long time to make. (Better get up at sunrise if you want to enjoy them at breakfast!) Some weekends I choose to sleep in and go the shortcut route; this time, with store-bought biscuits.

You might be wondering why not just use store-bought cinnamon rolls? Here's why: We're not just making any ordinary cinnamon roll. We're going to roll out the biscuit dough, then slice it into thirds and create each piece into a strip. You'll roll each strip into a thin, long piece (just do your best), then dip each piece into melted butter and then brown sugar and cinnamon.

Now bust out your skills: Starting in the center of the skillet, stand a piece of the buttered biscuit dough and tightly roll it into a coil. Continue coiling pieces around it, beginning to fill the pan. Once the skillet is almost full (remember the biscuit dough will puff and expand in the oven), bake it.

When out, try to let cool as long as possible, then drizzle with a simple white icing of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. And then just dig in. Psssh, get your forks out of there—this is a hands-on type of dish.
